Come to think of it, not that many Nigerian celebrities publicly condemned Oba of Lagos anti-Igbo comments. When a fan called Don Jazzy out for not condemning it because of his supposed alliance with Governor Fashola, the maverick music producer took to
instagram to rationally reply and clarify himself. See what he wrote after the cut...

Its Donjazzy again!
He can't condemn his speech because he benefits from d lagos state government.
Great response don jazzy.
Donjazzy is a coward! So u call speaking against what's not right.. a desecration of royalty?
Just saw it. Nice reply from him. Should he now kill himself becos one Oba decided to be /**********
Next please.
The Oba of Lagos in an attempt to intimidate the igbos resident in Lagos has threatened to kill igbos if they vote for Jimi Agbaje for Governor. No body can test the resolve of our people. Igbo bu igbo let us now show our electoral worth and relevance by voting for Agbaje. Great warriors of Biafra, please teach this Oba a lesson with your vote. Any igbo who votes for Ambode is a slave. Send this to at least 5 others. Igbo kwenu ! !
Nailed it.smh at all Igbos. Like y'all ain't Nigerians too.Nigeria before any tribal sentiment.
Who cares.
This Linda is the position you should have taken.but we are all entitled to our opinions.you and the oba inclusive.
Respect!
Nice response.
Oh yea that's word of wisdom, enough of this oba stuff he said things he ought not to say everyone doesn't accept it, if ur waiting for him to come n apologise u will wait till eternity, it will never ever! Happen, let peace reign n stop dragging people into stupidity n hatred.
Very simple.
Shut up foolish boy
Nt my business.
Don is a true Nigeria... i am proud of him
Doro BOSS! Very well said
We all have the freedom to choose who to vote for and no one can force you or me vote as he/she pleases. True talk boss
Rubbish....ur roots r first.
No, he is still clearly stating his loyalty 2 Fashola and really did he just say he can't desecrate the royal stool?? Really? Which stool is royal? And did the occupant revere the throne in d first place? Oh come on, this our so called celebrities just get fed with politicians money and the look the other way when this politicians say or do nonsense.
Love the way he responded. Shows maturity.

Respect to him. This is a very diplomatic response. These are words of wisdom. He showed that he is above silly tribalism and wont even give it breath. Life goes on.
Yea igbo men dont trade words like uncivilised market women. More action less talk
I pity you. You have no brain
Wetin u de find for ur fellow man egg plant? Shuu! Abi u don follow de bend down low? Mtchew!
Please shut up your mouth there. I know you're obviously a Yoruba bigot. Because we are Nigerians first that's why we should keep quiet and let a mad man say trash about our people abi. Ode ni

The oba will throw Igbos into the lagoon, kunle afolayan will enter the lagoon to look for distributor for his movies.... SMH
Na wa o. Make Don jazzy go die? Oya guy go nd kill d Oba nao.....lol
Boss indeed dat is still... Whtever!
He chooses peace. This is what is called when slapped give the other cheek. Not ranting does not make him less of an Igbo man.
I love don jazzy but I think he trying to shy away from the truth.
He doesn't want to take sides or say anything that will spoil his relationship with people in power.
Wise response. Did you know that Justin Bieber has also bought the $1.5m Ferrari LaFerrari? Check it out and other news at naijacarlovers.blogspot.com
REALLY THIS ISSUE IS GETTING OUT OF HAND NOW B'COS I DON'T SEE IT AS A BIG DEAL AT ALL. LAGOS IS FOR ALL OF US BUT SOME PEOPLE ARE USING THIS ISSUE TO DESTABLISE LAGOSIANS FOR THIS COMING SATURDAY ELECTION AND NOTHING MORE. I KNOW GOD WILL TAKE CONTROL.
Don jazzy God will bless u for that reply, must everybody condemn oba speech
Lool...I can't even disturb myself with this oba thing. When i'm done voting, I would anticipate his action. By the time d God I serve descends on him, he would know that there are gods and there is a bigger God!
If bloggers and the media had not given this Oba message platform only the people who attended his talk would know about it. Now its news and causing feelings because it was made news Don Jazzy is right. Also don't forget old people are stuck in their ways but the modern youth can choose to move a different direction. Let this be a lesson don't encourage your old relatives when they are stereotyping people. Tell them its not the modern way then introduce a boyfriend or girlfriend from that tribe they will stop.
Donbaba continues to earn my respect.What a perfect answer.
The Don, you did a "Jega" on him.Bravo!
Willi my love biko help me ask am o,mr harry potter!
I like how Donjazzy replies pple
He has huge respect for his fans...other celebs will just insult d hell outta there fans....
Yes, linda ia very very biased
Nice and matured response
My year of Linda's 100k
Pls u guys speak for yourselves.. Stop pushing Don jazzy to the war front to speak for you. You are the bigger coward because u stand behind and u are pushing a celebrity forward. The celebrity has already condemned what the Oba did. Cant u read? Or are u blind?
Really? ! Like seriously? !, all this ya igbo energy please use it to develop your states. Just thesame way no one can impose candidates on you , so also you can't force people to talk in your favour. Free world. Abeg

That speech was not from the Lagos state govt. or Fashola, remember? I'll bet even Ambode is embarrassed by it.
He is entitled to his opinion...
You are voting for Ambode not the Oba of Lagos, let Lagos benefits from federal government for once nd you guys we have conducive places to trade... Don't be blinded by what the Oba said
Lwkmd aka Davido's driver,obviously u ar bossesed wit his eggplant, jut like dat yul edoche crazy fan!

Simple and articulate answer. Well done Don Jazzy. Linda take note!
But you foolish sha.
What did you expect Jazzy to do please? Start insulting the Oba? Cos he's uncouth like you.
Two wrongs never make a right dumbo
Whether Ibo or Yoruba, Nigerians are just a bunch of ethnic bigots whose life time ambitions are to sink into the perpetual abyss of chaos and ethnic genocide. Don Jazzy has said that he frowns at the recording and yet people are still calling him out for not speaking up.
Most of the commenters are frustrated and full of envy that is why they would want Don Jazzy to come out and insult Fashola. Even if the statement made by the Oba of Lagos has been denied by the APC as not representing their views.
Linda, posterity will remember you for promoting ethnic and tribal sentiments.
Will donjazzy response change d situation of things????
Moye says so via BB Passport...Courtesy LIB....
Don Jazzy I disagree with you on this.....you are first an igbo before being a Nigerian. Ekesia na ama ebulu naa na Obi.
So he should have insulted the Oba, that woulda satisfied you right?
Some of you these Ibos sef. You're so uncivilised and unrefined.
Tueh!
Wise said Don, but that Oba must have cross they line, let not be quit while we are in good position to defend your own people.
Don Jazzy, the wisest Igbo i have seen. May God bless you. Its just a jest and the Igbo people took it the other way round.
Sick...
This is how u people started in Kano stare that they killed you its this electik that you will use to kneo YORUBA Peiple are very violent we will burn your markets and. Blow all your properties you deserve hausa treatment
I respect dis guy. Fashola is also my mentor.
Obiora, you my dear do not understand what it means to civil
Why is my comments not showing linda
IDJA I like this man
@anonymous 5:52 - why don't you carry cutlass and slaughter the yorubas. Smh. Oba of lagos speaks only for himself not all yorubas. You should be sensible to know this. I grew up with igbos and we are still friends. So if you have any scores to settle, go meet the oba. Shikena.
What is wrong is wrong! The Oba was out of order. In life, always see things if the roles were reversed. There are a number of Nigerian Entertainers who speak out regardless of the $$$ implication.
Don Jazzy, you have a podium to speak out. Never make it okay for people to make bigoted statements. Yes, he is talking about other Igbos.
Not you. We know you are different. :/
I said it and will continue to say it, Don Jazzy will soon spoil his growing career.Imagine his fan asking why he did not say any thing cos d see him supporting APC if not nobody will call his name.pls leave politics alone it can swing both ways. I'm saying dis cos I'm you big fan and pple arround me knows.
Do you want me to call this a matured respond from Don Jazzy?
Noo, its not. If we all had said it this way.., This Akiolu dickhead tribalistic biggot would have said more shit things.
So it better to teach him a little lesson.
Linda, i have been following this news since you posted the first. Im igbo man, and your body language tells me how you feel about this shit threat from this he goat Akiolu. I respect your courage and love you for that. many people has refused to speak up.
This is exactly what that Bastard son of ashawo in call Akiolu said:)
By the time all of you people left your hamlets, your villages, if any one of you goes against Ambode who I picked, that is your end.
( He Screams) I swear in the name of the Almighty Allah. Lagos i'm the owner for the time been, (He scream), Listen…, because this is an undivided chair, the palace belongs to the dead,the living and the those coming in the future. On saturday, if any one of you, (He screams again harder) i swear in the name of god almighty allah, goes against my will, That Ambode, Ishalla, will be the next Governor of Lagos state, the person is going to die inside this water, Im not ready to beg, appeal to anybody. And thats why Asiwaju and the Governor said, Kabiyesi, thats your own. even the two of them, they are not disobeying me. Nobody knew how i picked Ambode.
Jimi is my blood relation and I told him in a plan Language, he can never be governor in Lagos for now. The future belongs to god.
I am not begging anybody, I repeat. but what you people can not do in Onitsha, What you can not do in Aba or anywhere.
If you do what i want, lagos will continue to be prosperous for you, if you go against it, you will perish in the water. finish.
Na Igbo girls dey even defend us!
Whr is our men?
Don Jazz respect for life. If you do not like what Oba said then you have a choice of leaving our town . Even take your spare part to your town and we will see who will buy them. Oba as a royal cannot apologise, more so his word was taken out of context. PLS IN YORUBA LAND , AN OBA RULES ALL. PLS GET USE TO IT .
Don is a glorious example of the type of the classy and highly detribalised Igbos I have moved with from childhood. Very much unlike most of the tribalists in Linda's blog. Any sensible person who knows how the YYorubas operate will acknowledge that the Oba cannot be speaking the minds of the Yorubas because we are a proud race that believe so much in freedom of expression and human decency. So let all the hayers continue making their hate speeches. The elections will come and go, but Lagos will still remain the centre of excellence, and the Yorubas will still remain the proud kingmakers in Nigerian politics in many decades to come. And while what the King said is highly regrettable, it's not in the culture of Yorubas for Kabiyesi to apologise in public or go into denial in public!
Point of correction Don Jazzy! You're firstly an Igbo man before u become a Nigerian. If u disagree,why are u asked state of origin on every document u fill in Nigeria?
Can see you dnt have respect.
Boss Jazzy! That's ur new name! The only Igbo that we can allow to claim Lagos! U pple can can continue to be bitter, angry n sad or just move on! The Yorubas have bn more than fair to every1 in Lagos!
Best comment ever. Looooool

***CURRENTLY IN JUPITER***
What is Don Jazzy talking about desecration of royalty? The oba has done that by himself. It seems quite clear that Indigbo's have no balls because just as Don Jazzy sees nothing wrong in the bully of an oba, that's how his brothers were responding Kabiyesi when the oba threatened them.I rest my case.
If you be boss you be boss! Its don jazzy again!!!
what eva d oba said was just empty talk. he cant kill all igbos living in lag dats 1 tin everybody should know. so y sweat over nothing
Nice reply!
Na don jazzy wey answer d guy I blame
I trust Linda...iffa hear say she reply
Nice response, Don
Dear Lagosians,
Yoruba,s are very decent and reasonable people. No tribe will entertain on their land what is going on in Lagos.
We all condemn the statement of OBA AKIOLU. But let ask ourselves one important question, WHY IS OBA AKIOLU ANGRY WITH IGBOS?
My answers are:
1. I WILL ELEVATE EZE NDIGBO TO THE STATUS OF OBA OF LAGOS - JIMI AGBAJE.
2. IGBO WILL DETERMINE WHO RULES LAGOS- IFEANYI UBAH
3. LAGOS IS NO MAN'S LAND.- IFEANYI UBAH DURING TAN CAMPAIGN.
4. IGBO DEVELOPED AND CONTROL LAGOS- JIMI AGBAJE DURING GEJ CAMPAIGN IN AKWA IBOM
5. WE MUST PRODUCE THE NEXT DEPUTY GOVERNOR OF LAGOS- EZE NDIGBO
MY QUESTIONS TO IGBOS,
1. CAN OBI OF ONITHSA ACCEPT ALL THE ABOVE MENTIONED?
2. CAN EMIR OF KANO ACCEPT ....?
3. DO YOU HAVE ANY SINGLE TRIBE IN YOUR CABINET IN THE EAST?
4. CAN ANY TRIBE CLAIM ONITHSA OR ABA TO BE NO MAN,S LAND?
5. CAN OBI OF ONITHSA ACCEPT THE ELEVATION OF SARKIN HAUSA IN ONITHSA TO OBI STATUS?
My conclusion: We have been living together as brothers for years in peace. You must respect our tradition and institutions.Ifeanyi Ubah should stop jumping around Lagos beating drums of war.
God bless Yorubas,igbos,hausas and others.
Cheers.
As in no brain at all..
Y'all are blowing everything way out of proportion, life ain't that hard.. Kilode mhen? Make una calm down jare, like you guys were expecting something like this to happen so that u can talk.. Anyhoo, y'all don't matter, vote or not, una no count at all, cos you dnt matter in the west..
U must all be jobless especially those of u who don jazzy to go and fight the oba. Must u comment on every topic?
Linda well done oo, u neva post my comment..am coming 4 u soon
Thumbs up to his PR agent for the diplomatic response

Linda, post this is you are not a tribalist.
He has just been JEGA'D!!!!!!!!!
He has just been JEGA'D!!!!!!!!!
OMG! wat is all dis! Yoruba's have been too kind en accommodating. Can any Yoruba in d east or north talk about their traditional ruler in dis manner, no matter wat he has said or done. Igbos r really crossing their limits. I'm sure if it was in d east d yoruba community leaders would have been asked to swear by their gods or leave their place. En for Yoruba's y won't d Igbos have d guts to do all dis when we not only join but also encourage dem.
Nice one. Let the broke ass miscreants keep throwing tantrums. The world has moved on already. Respect Don baba.
Carry your broke dry ass out of here. Oloshi. You are claiming Biafra, yet you want to die in Lagos. When will u stop spreading hate? Go back to your state. Madness dey worry u.
Orubebe spirit dey worry una, why should Ambode suffer for Akiolu's sins? If u people are not deing of tribalism, hatred and malice. Una kukuma no vote Buhari before and Godwin. Thanks Don Dorobucci for the Jega ( ing ) response. Much love.
U most be crazy! U shut up! All ur leaders r d mad men. Oloriburuku!
My view about the Oba Akinolu's statement.
We all accept that Tribalism should not be encourage but the manner We yorubas speak ill of the Oba show how cheap we have sold out our culture and heritage in the name of civilisation. And We are gradually Losing what rightly belong to us for this reason.
Because Lagos has Given open arm to every one does not mean we should not know our boundaries,
I Served in Another state and I know how the indigene of the state protect their right and territory from others. it was made clear to us that we cannot be retained in my place of primary assignment because we are not from the state. Not to even talk of involving your self in the politics of that state.
While in Lagos, Babaloja Of ladipo was removed from Office after a massive protest by Igbos that a yoruba man cannot be the Babaloja of Igbo Market.
Igbos are everywhere in Nigeria but I know they have not enjoy as much freedom as Lagos as given to them in other parts of the Country, 5 emerge winners for the House of rep in Lagos. Still looking for a. State that will allow such.
Now they are calling for the dethrone of the Oba or open apology from Him. Joke of the century.
We all need to come together in one Voice and stop been used because of our lack of unity as YORUBA.
Like I said, Just my view, I stand to be corrected.
Busayo
Donjazzy biko park one side
It's obvious that you are an illiterate...an Oba is royal, whether you like it or not....Don Jazzy is matured hence his response...you really should take a cue and go back to school, hmm? Maybe that will help your situation a bit....stupid, mannerless igbo girl. Blackbeauty my ass.
Of course yes...that's what they call being smart....you should try it sometime, it works wonders for the pocket....smh.
Better person, speaking sense in the midst of foolishness. Nice talk!
You sef go follow join...
That's d spirit. I love you don jazzy, alws giving a boss reply
Smart man indeed! That's what I call good business sense....lol.
You're an asshole! Are you now calling hate speech tribal sentiments? Kiti kpalacha gi anya
#I AM IGBO. I CAN SWIM.
#I AM IGBO. I CAN SWIM.
@ anonymous who called someone a bigot....you are obviously the bigot here. And how would you know if Anon 1 is Yoruba? What if he/she were Hausa? Or some other tribe? People like you are the reason tribalism exists....please shut your trap if you do not have anything good to say. Mannerless set of people....una no kuku get respect so i'm not surprised. Ode buruku. Shiooo...
Very mature comment much respect.you other Ibo idiots you are just looking for a chance to cause confusion in Lagos. If PDP should win Lagos we will hold you responsible and chase you back to your villages.Lagos is Yorubaland and we have had enough of your grabbing ways.nuiscances go back home Ibo must go.
Thanks and Linda you lost loads of fans over this Oba thing. Let's see the impact on your blog down the line. Thanks Boss.
Big boss
OKORO UPGRADED**
If an igbo man commits a crime outside Nigeria ..do the white people for eg call him an igbo man first or a nigerian?
good and matured response
MISSVEE
Some times, some things r better left unsaid. Weda the oba is secretly campaigning for jimi doesn't mean don jazzy should voice it because he is campaigning for apc . what d oba said, campaign or no campaign is bad. Shebi there is peace in Nigeria bcos jona accept defeat, every other person should follow the leader and do same when their time comes. And for those saying gej had no choice, I pity them, bcos if he was power hungry, he will lead the nation to chaos and that war APC has been looking for will come. Go and ask your grandparents what war was like or if u have a development imagination, picture it using the hardship many people face even without war, then u will shut up when u see someone that has chosen peace. Thank God for gej, bcos me I no get power to run when e start and I don't pray to experience such
The stool that the Oba desecrated himself!
What an idiot you are Obiora.
Mtcheeeeew.
I said soooooooooooooooooooooo
When did Jimi Agbaje became an Igbo man? You better don't be used by the politicians for their self interest and vote/chose your candidate without any sentiment. Be it Ambode or Agbaje.
lolzzzz moses I taya o
This guy is the real Don and an ambassador of peace. That's a great one unlike d celebrity trying to preach Hate. U and Pat Utomi, I will forever respect u for life
DON JAZZY YOU ARE A DISGRACE. FIRST TO YOURSELF AS A MAN, FOR TURNING YOUR BACK ON YOUR FATHERS, MOTHERS, BROTHERS, SISTERS AND THEIR CHILDREN WHEN THEY ARE BEING THREATENED. AS FAR AS YOU KNOW...FASHOLA HAS TREATED ALL FAIRLY? SPEAK FOR YOURSELF HIS ROYAL IGNORAMUS. WHERE ON EARTH WERE YOU WHEN OF ALL TRIBES, FASHOLA SINGLED OUT IGBOS AND DEPORTED THEM BACK TO THE EAST ON TRUMPED UP EXCUSES? OH I FORGOT. GREASING YOUR JUDAS ISCARIOT PALMS WITH HUSH MONEY. I WILL NOT WASTE MY TIME WITH THE OBA BECAUSE HE REEKS OF SUCH SHIT RIGHT NOW, AS HE JUSTLY DESERVES FOR DARING TO THREATEN A WHOLE TRIBE WHO HAS CONTRIBUTED SIGNIFICANTLY, ALONG WITH OTHERS TO BUILD THIS GREAT STATE. I AM PARTICULARLY RESPONDING TO YOU BECAUSE I AM PAINED TO SAY THAT WE ARE KINSMEN, FROM THE SAME TOWN. IN A MORALLY UPRIGHT WORLD, CELEBRITIES UNDERSTAND THE POWER OF THEIR VOICE AND USE IT TO FIGHT FOR TRUTH AND JUSTICE. I KNOW YOUR ENGLISH IS SHADY AT BEST SO I SHALL CHOOSE TO BELIEVE THAT YOU DIDNT UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF THAT BIG D WORD YOU USED. DESECRATE MY FOOT. HIS PEOPLE HAVE A RIGHT TO BE UPSET WITH HIM BECAUSE HE DESECRATED A RESPECTED PART OF THEIR HERITAGE BY HIS ARROGANT AND IGNORANT UTTERANCES. TO ALL THOSE ASKING IGBOS TO DESIST FROM ABUSING HIM, YOU SHOULD RATHER BE ADMONISHING HIM FOR EXPOSING HIMSELF TO SUCH MOUNTAINOUS RIDICULE. WHAT IS COMPLICATED ABOUT THAT? DON JAZZY, PLEASE NOTE, BEFORE THERE WAS NIGERIA, IGBO, YORUBA AND HAUSA EXISTED. YOU CANNOT BE A NIGERIAN IF YOU BELONG TO NO TRIBE. YOU ARE FIRST FROM A NIGERIAN TRIBE TO QUALIFY AS A NIGERIAN DUMMY. OH THAT THE IGBOS WILL REJECT YOU SO THAT YOU CAN BECOME A YORUBA MAN. NEWSFLASH!EVEN AFTER MJ BLEACHED OFF HIS SKIN N SCATTERED HIS NOSE, HIS ASS WAS STILL FREAKING BLACK!!! FINALLY,TO ALL IGBOS... WHILE IT IS GOOD THAT THESE JOKES ARE HELPING TO DEFUSE A POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE SITUATION, DO NOT FORGET TO TAKE NOTE OF A DEVELOPING TREND. I AM NOT POLITICAL HOWEVER I CANNOT HELP BUT NOTICE THAT APC HAS BECOME SYNONYMOUS WITH RUMORS OF VICTIMISATION THREATS, WHETHER THEY BE TRUE OR NOT. BE ON YOUR GUARD AND STOP LAUGHING FOR ONE MINUTE TO CONSIDER THE FACT THAT SOMEONE THOUGHT IT EXPEDIENT TO THREATEN US IN BROAD DAYLIGHT. I DOUBT IT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED WITH THE HAUSAS FOR SOME REASON. FASHOLA ALSO DEPORTED OUR KINSMEN, NOTHING HAPPENED. THIS IS A DEMOCRACY. I DO NOT ADVOCATE VIOLENCE HOWEVER WE MUST NOT ONLY JOKE BUT CONDEMN THIS SO SERIOUSLY THAT NO ONE TRIES THIS IN THE OPEN ANYMORE. THE COWARDS WILL SURELY GATHER BUT THATS OKAY. WE ARE WELL AND FULLY PROTECTED BY THE GRACE OF GOD. Linda, be sure to publish this. I know Don Jazzy is your friend but its time he was called to order. Disgraceful sellout
And by the way, I bet the holocaust and annihilation of Jews started by Hitler making a threat, and people who were too comfortable to be bothered, laughed and dismissed it....believing they had money and rights...until real shit happened. Because they were unaware of the magnitude of Hitler's hatred for them and lunacy. Thank God the Oba is exposing his own bias now. I only wonder if its just his or a shared sentiment between him and the leadership of the party he supports... i wonder....but Fashola's previous actions are very telling o!
So true
Saying he's a nigerian first before an igbo is just pointless..... I'd rather he said "I'm a business man and I can't bite the hand that's feeding me....

He's being diplomatic...Wise people choose their words...

we av a choice...its up to u....n by d way wat do u want don jazzy to do eh??...to go to d oba's palace n b ranting like a senseless person? is he d only lgbo celebrity?? Wether d oba said dis or dat CANNOT CHANGE UR THUMB PRINT ON DAT DAY....U AV A CHOICE AND NOT D OBA....ma pple let peace reign
Like seriously? That's how people like you would forget important things and keep over flogging inconsequential issues. The Oba's statement was wrong and tribalistic..true that. That's a discrimination of igbo's by a yoruba man right? Ok,u decide to vote Jimi instead of Ambode to get back at the Oba and you think you did something? Isn't Jimi also yoruba? Smh. It'd have made more sense if you'd vote another tribe preferably igbo coz for me,I think voting jimi instead of Ambo because of a careless statement by another (especially when you initially thought Ambo was d best candidate) is just unwise. Like would you have seriously achieved anything? If you vote in the wrong person to prove to the Oba who is already rich wrong,who would be most affected? If you genuinely feel Jimi is the right candidate then feel free to vote for him and forget the Oba. Such people/statements are meant to be completely ignored.Let's move on please.
P.S am totally igbo as well.
i love u don jazzy. correct reply
Apt and very cultured and matured response from d king of Nigerian producers. A true Nigerian
My fellow Nigerians, enough has been said about the subject matter and I'm sure it's crystal clear where every concerned parties stand as per the inappropriate statement. Don Jazzy's remarkable comment should cement this and put a final halt to this discussion knowing fully well that we have a greater decision ahead of us as a country which is the forthcoming election. We all should put sentiments aside and vote as our respective conscience leads us. I don't want to hear any whisper regarding this subject henceforth - even as intangible as a far echo... enough of this shenanigans! #Tolerance #Fairness # Unity #Peace
Shush!, he just spoke against it but it requires an intelligent person and pragmatic one to discern d wisdom, equanimity and fairness of his words, so I ask, are u one?.
Igbos should think logically, what tells you that the oba isn't campaigning for the pdp,knowing too well that his speak will stair up quarrel, reaction among the igbos which could cause a U-turn at the polls.think twice,the opposition party is related to him,think and use your brains
Honestly , I think everybody is important in our democracy, but the problem I see looming here is that Ndigbo are about to fall casualty of electoral battle here again as it happened at the presidential level. Allowing themselves to be misled again by the PDP into a face-off with the traditional leadership of a state where they're accomodated is not a wise move at all. Even if Jimi Agbaje was to win, his allegiance will never be towards Eze Ndigbo but towards the man who already is crossed with the Igbos - The Oba himself. At last this will turn out to be that the Igbos were used and dumped by Jimi. If Ambode wins, the situation might not still be different as long as this Oba is still crossed. This is the bitter reality. The Igbos should be wise and not let the PDP make them casualty here again.They should find a way to mend their relationship with this oba. Politics is a game played with the head, not the heart.
....and it's called WISDOM!!!! That's smfin sm ppl don't av.. #smh
U are very intelligent Don jazzy................ u are forever a BOSS.
..and that's called WISDOM!! Smfin sm ppl don't av/understand.. #smh
Biggest Boss ever liveth
Only say the truth.
What a matured response. Meanwhile, Linda, you're not publishing all the responses given by APC to the oba's debacle. ....visit www.nigeriaeye.com to get all the was said at the rally in Orile.
When you begin to understand English and read properly then maybe u will graduate from d school of cowardice...sadist
oga boss!!!! forget dem omo yoruba
All hail d real Oba of Lagos...DonbabaJ...we suppose Comot dat cap frm dat moron
Onyebuchi Ememanka writes and I reason along with him ~
What is the principal interest of the Igbos in Lagos? What do we seek to achieve in our sojourn here? My
take is simple. We seek a prosperous Lagos that is economically viable, peaceful....a mini Nigeria of sorts
where all people are able to live and pursue their livelihood without let or hinderance. As a people that thrive
on commerce, Igbos want a Lagos where there are government policies that promote the growth of
commerce and business. A Lagos where government builds roads, bridges, hospitals and is generally alive
to their duties. Education is free in Lagos and our children enjoy this. No Igbo child has been sent away
from any public school in Lagos. Lagos state government pays WAEC and NECO fees for all students in
Lagos....our children enjoy this too.
What do we really want in Lagos? The truth is that we are strangers here. Lagos belongs to some people,
just like Onitsha and Aba. Let's not carry on as if this place is a no man's land. It is not. All of a sudden,
Jimi Agbaje has become an Igboman....we have adopted him as our son.....the same way we adopted
President Jonathan in the last election against our strategic interest as a people...a decision that has left us
in serious political confusion and our senators begging to be admitted into the APC.
What is the difference between Jimi Agbaje and Akinwumi Ambode? Is any of them Igbo? What is our
problem? I believe that we have a fair share here. We live in peace unlike our people in the North. I don't
think there are more Igbos in Lagos than there are in Kano, yet we live peacefully here. Yorubas are highly
politically sophisticated people and they understand that it us better for them to have a government in
Lagos that belongs to the same party as the party at the centre. Igbos cannot love Lagos more than
Yorubas. This is their land. If anything happens here now, we will all leave and return home. These people
own here...this is their home and we must respect their feelings. Every person living in Lagos wants more
federal presence in Lagos. We want a 4th mainland bridge, we want so many other things that the federal
government can do. In the years past, Lagos hasn't enjoyed much federal intervention because of political
party differences. Now they have that chance and we want to spoil it for them by being more catholic than
the pope. Let everybody vote any candidate he wants but I reject any collective Igbo move to vote against
the strategic interests of the people who own the land where we live and make our living. Lagos has been
good to our people. We have succeeded here in business and the professions.
Let's not disrespect the people of Lagos. I will not support any move that will create an impression that
Igbos are against the interest of the owners of Lagos. Nobody has murdered our people here like what we
see in the north. Lagos remains the only state in this country where Igbos hold top government positions.
Even our neighbors and brothers, Rivers State have never given us that privilege despite our huge
population and presence there. As for me, I want Lagos to progress and on Saturday, I will proudly vote for
Akinwumi Ambode.
You are a fool...what has fashola got to do with it?...fashola has been lagos state governor for 8years has he sent we igbo's out of lagos or made it unbearable for us...is one thing for dat evil oba to talk..its another thing for fashola nd ambode to talk...these utterances didn't come from their mouth but from dat of d oba of lagos,so why blame others for the stupid words from the oba's mouth
guy u jobless o
U are so sure the Oba is not trying to swing the vote towards Jimi Agbaje? Wake up dearie
Don Jazzy is a wise man. He just spoke my thought.
Ibo's actually think their votes will bring JK in? I am dorolaffing......... Yoruba's own Lagos, they are the majority. We are not up to one third of the whole Lagos.
Thou the Oba's statement was uncalled for but you guys went too far with the way you are insulting a man old enough to be your grandfather.
Are you saying if your father insults you, you would reply him?
And you think Jimi will place Ibo’s above the Oba if elected? You will be shocked his first point of call will be the palace.
They are using your head to play politics like football and you are flexing muscle.
Leave politicians alone with their wahala, Eze Ndigbo’s and Oba of Lagos know how to settle theirselves.
A word is enough for the wise oooooooo
Must Don respond to what the Oba said? Silence is golden. Nice response though.
And Skywag got his 15 minutes of fame. The world they say now, is a global village. Mind you; a village, not a town or city. Meaning everyone can have access to everyone's information and anyone business can become everyone's business. In here, we all are the elders, even the priest of the village. Yes! Everyone is entitle to say and speak to whoever freely. What a world we live in!
Oops! There Are No More Fishes in the River, They're All in the Net. Forgive me Internet
That was a Jega response for an Orubebe rant!
Don Jazzy failed here.
He's an Igbo man first. He is a Nigerian because Lord Lugard made it so. What's wrong with u Jazzy. Give me my #Biafra
That was a Jega response for an Orubebe rant!
I really lov u Don jazzy bt am really disappointed wit wot u said. Am really ashamed of him tru.@ igbo guy lik u.biko parkwell.
If the story about the oba of lagos is true then I ve totally lost respect for the so called Ignorant and unrefined oba of lagos.. Threatening the lagos based igbos is a mere stupidity and ignorance, if he drowns one igbo man then we will drown his entire lineage and community... Just look at a so called leader, a royal father turning himself into a thing of mockery all over Nigeria... This is democracy and everyone has his or her right to vote whoever he or she wants.. What a shame
They said one Nigeria (pure lies)
I say one beautiful Republic of biafra (reality)

Lolz. Was DonJazzy suppose to take war to the oba's palace or what? Be running to the guy like a savior. This darn funny
Arr ma with plss. Mchww
You are really stupid if you think any Igbo supporter of Ambode will turn against him because of any oba's threat.
@anon go ahead do what u do best. Twist DonJazzy's comment, u hear? Ode
No brain at all! He sounded like a typical Igbo man, ready to jump on pple's mistake and use it against a generation.
This is the simple reason the Igbos can't move beyond south-east Nigeria.
They are way too unforgiving and that's a load enough to limit them to tiny region.
Israelites were almost wiped out by Germany under Hitler and now years later, Germany is home to the highest number of Israelites outside Israel. Did I hear u say forgiveness? Yeah. No wonder they move forward.
Matured enough.
These guys have no brain at all! So the Don should do what?
I won't blame them, they sounded like a typical Igbo man, ready to jump on people's mistake and blame it for their own (Igbos) failure for generations to come.

That is why igbos are usually killed like ram in the north. When did lagos become that of lagos for them to start claiming.
Igbos are pathetic and frustrated people. Always claiming people's else's tin
well said brother

Wise man!
#linda's apprentice says...
Nice!!!!...,
You're a mugu.. You said " why are u then asked state of Origin on every document u fill in Nigeria?" ... The answer to your question is right there... "In Nigeria?".. Documents giving to Nigerians to fill locally.. where they then ask what your state of Origin is assuming that u are firstly a Nigerian.
100 likes.... This blog has become so tribalist infested that coming here often would make a once neutral person start to reason differently.
Wisdom is really the best of endowment. You are very wise.
The unforgiving spirit just popped out with this, imagine all d rants like they r glued or something like that in lagos. Make una relocate back to villa na..Afterall people like Linda wl forever be grateful to the soil of Lagos. Any contrary opinion...The Lagos toll is not closed yet as at the last time I checked.
